Donny’s Bar Arrives In Manly

By Ellie Schneider - 08 Jan 2014

The latest addition to Manly's burgeoning small bar scene, Donny's Bar brings a slice of New York to the beachside neighbourhood—decked out with raw brick, exposed ceilings and hardwood floors.

Downstairs a selection of Asian-inspired share plates is the order of the day, whilst upstairs patrons can sample a variety of gourmet burgers and classic Australian favourites with an Asian bent, created by Japanese-born Head Chef Richi Dia.

On the drinks front, Donny's Bar offers a collection of specialty cocktails, craft beers, and a curated mix of wines from Australia, New Zealand and France. Standouts include: the 'Blueberry n Rose Bramble' with Plymouth gin, house-made rose syrup, and a blueberry float; the 'Bonsai' with muddle cucumber, Plymouth gin, lime and mint; and the 'Shanghai' with raspberry, cranberry, Absolut Elyx, cherry bitters, and lemongrass syrup topped with sparkling wine.
